THE POWER OF CAB.
How 1t Advances the Schemes of Loud

How 1t Advances the Schemes of Loud
Mouthed Politicians.
Talk is cheap" affirms one of the
practical proverbs of the day. We beg
to differ. Talk is not cheap; it is an
expensive commodity, and too often a
commodity of little value. The ability
to express ones thoughts in concise,
Ineligible and effective manner, is
valuable accomplishment but the
rhetorical art of making a spread
eagle speech with one grain of sense to
ten of superficial bombast, can almost
be rated as vice. Many man
has elevated himself to re-
sponsible position Of public trust
with no fitness for the proper
discharge of his duties. But he could
make nice speech, he could shake up
his auditors with some side-splitting
anecdote, or melt them to tears by re-
citing some pathetic incident. No one
stopped to inquire whether in the man
agement of his own affairs he was a
success or a failure. Nobody carefully
considered whether the ideas he adj
vanced were sensible or practical. He
could sway an audience and that was
considered conclusive test of his
ability. Isn't this fair presentation
of the manner in which we select men
to administer our public affairs? A
man of admitted executive ability who
has made a success of his own business,
but has no rhetorical gifts will stand no
show against the nsealy-nlouthed candi-
date who has failed in every thing he
has tried to do. but who can talk.
Talk is cheap, is it? Look over the
records of Congress and see what it
costs the country to print and publish
the useless talk, talk, talk that hinders
useful legislation and serves no better
purpose than to advance the personal
interests of ambitious politicians. The
country has to pay for all this talk, at
a big round price, too, but the man who
has been sent to Congress has to furnish
his constituents some evidence of his
great value, and nothing is more con.
elusive than long-winded speech.
Great is the gift of Western
Plo1Cnaan.

How the Tired Wife and Mother Can
Tighten the Daily Round of Cares.

How the Tired Wife and Mother Can
Tighten the Daily Round of Cares.
Often the tired housemother feels her
heart sink within her and the burden of
petty care seems too heavy to be borne.
At such times she should strive to look
upward and outward An hour spent in
communion with some favorite author will
do wonders toward freshening the mind,
while the rest taken will strengthen tho
body. Let no time be spent in bemoaning
that which can not be helped, for more
strength is lost in this way than would
seem possible. If the work laid out has
not been accomplished, never mind; con-
slider that you have attempted too much,
and next time plan for less. Much OF the
trouble that weighs upon the heart OF the
conscientious woman is caused by her
having striven to work beyond her
strength. 1t is safe plan for her to lay
out only as much work as she can accom-
plish in half the time at her disposal. In
this way WEAKNESS is avoided, and, by a
systematic arrangement, the daily round
of cares becomes lightened, and mind and
body become fresher and better able to
cope with the various trials that arise
from day to day. Let not the house,
keeper forget the reviving power of fresh
air. AS soon as consistent with her daily
duties, let her take gentle exercise out OF
doors. The vapors and mists that so often
rise and becloud the minds horizon Will be
dispelled by the bracing Atmosphere SID

WHERE NApolsoN's SON DIED.

"One OF the most horrible sights
l have SEEM" said Archibald Forbes
to the London correspondent of the
New York Nal and Eapress, "was
the field of the disaster of Isandl-
wana in Iululand, 1t was four
months after the disaster. The
1000 dead bodies had been lying
bleaching in the hot sun unburied
all that time. The Zulu vultures
had not touched them. Their
bodies had withered away to skele-
tons encased in skins that had be-
come like leather. One could trace
how they had fallen, and OCCASION

desperate stand against their ene-

RE-ApPEARANCE OF THE JAPS.

After making successful tour OF

1uent cheers and applause. The
main part of the entertainment con-
sisted of repetition of acts that had
been previously performed in the
Opera House, before the company
went to the other islands. These
were extremely well executed, and
seemed to enchain the attention of
even those who had frequently seen
them before. In addition, there
were several new features introduced,
that were in sense minor but none
the less interesting. A squad of the
band boys was present, and enlHened
the occasion by appropriate musical
selections, playing at intervals
throughout the evening,

EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF AN
OFFICER At the HOUSE OF
PARLIAMENT.

On March /, at the Westminster
Polce-court, a well-dressed defend
ant, who stated that his name was
Lieutenant-C Colonel Philip Dickson,
of Lansdowne-road, Bedford, was
charged with wilfully breaking a
lamp at the Houses Of Parliament.
A police-constable said that on the
previous night he saw the accused
wilfully throw something at q lamp
in Palacc.yard. The glass of the
lamp was smashed. Col. Dickson,
in reply to the magistrate, said he
wished to point out that the laws
passed by the Government and
Parliament, which were effective
against the humble and poor, were
openly trodden on and ignored by
the rich and influential. The laws
of Parliament which ruled poor peo-
pie were powerless against the rich.
The magistrate: What do you say
to this charge? The defendant: 1
served, sir, throughout the Crimean
war, and was never absent from
duty, and 1 have been treated with
the greatest illegality by His Royal
Highness the Duke Of Cambridge,
who kept me under arrest thirteen
or fourteen months when it was
ordered that no officer should be
kept under arrest more than eight
days, or until such time as q court
martial could assemble. The Marquis
of Ripon promised me redress within
year, and having trusted to that
promise l found that lost the right
to appeal, which must be made with
in six months. BY trusting to the
Marquis Of Ripon l have been made
an outlaw for many years. The
magistrate: / think your mind must
be affected. The defendant: Not u
bit of it, sir. Mems sano IN corpore
sano / still enjoy, thank God. You
may think it was an extraordinary
thing to do, but l maintain that /
have as much right to commit an
illegal act as His Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge. The magis-
trate: l must fine you l0s., and the
damage, Is. Will you pay the
money? The defendant: will take
a little time to think about it, sir.
The Magistrate: In default seven
days. The defendant: Oh, yes; l
know little about law. ca laugh. }
The fine was paid Immediately.

The LATE WILLIAM DllDlEE.
THE FUNERAL.

The last sad rites of a Christian
burial were yesterday solemnized
over the remaius of the late William
Dlldine. Prior to the hour of COM
mencing the solemn ceremony,
many ladies, several of whom had
regularly visited poor Dildine
during his final fleeting moments,
arrived at the Hospital, bringing
with them floral emblems of immor-
tality, entwined and wreathed into
beautiful ethereal symbols, with
which they literally covered the
coffin, leaving an open space around
the transparent portion of the top,
through which the features of the
deceased were visible. The friends
of the departed, and there were
many present, approached and took
a last look at the well known feat
ures. The service, read by the
Rev. j. A. Cruzan, was followed by
brief and impressive address, in
which the speaker dwelt upon those
words in the ritual, "Be we also
Ready" The scene was truly a
solemn one, and many of those pre-
sent were moved to tears. The
earthly remains were placed in the
catafalquc by those who had known
the deceased well. Special mourn
ers marched alongside the hearse as
it moved slowly up the Valley, fol-
lowed Immediately by Mr.. Henry
Macfarlane, Mr.. S. 1. Shaw and
many others. The final committal
service was read at the grave side
by the Rev. j. A. Cruzan.

who, the Marshal says, escaped
from the Reformatory School about
three months ago, and has been at

were usually his victims. When

great brightness and on the voyage
out he expressed anxiety about re-
ceiving wound from an assegai.
He lay on the field quite naked,
covered with wounds. Round his
neck was thin gold chain and a
locket, attached in which was a
picture of his mother. We took this
off and sent it to the Empress and
then carefully carried him from the
field. 1t was curious and cast a
gloom over me, that 1 should see
this young Prince receive, as his

at Spicheren, and then few years
later see him a corpse on foreign

WHAT WE NEED FIRST OF ALL.

EDITOR BULLETIN You are right
in promoting your commendable
scheme for bringing visitors to these
Islands and 1 perfectly agree with
most of your remarks. But-alas
there is a but-how about our
roads! l have not been travelling
on five continents, but have seen n
great deal of Europe and America.
10 see, to compare, and to learn is a
natural consequence thereof. Now
allow me to select country, which
is now the central for most travel
ling people from the United States,
England and the European CONT
nent: this country is Germany.
Have you been in the Hartz Noun
tains, in the Black Forest, in Tyrol,
in the Bavarian Alps, or in any of
the numerous watering-places in
Germany! If not, please 60 there,
see, compare and then acknowledged
how far behind we are here on
the Hawaiian Islands. / do not
mean in fine views and scenery. No
Sir, you are right in that respect:
ours cannot be beaten, but where
are the roads!
In Germany you can visit and en-
joy most of the finest scenery, when
driving in carriage, and here
neither in carriage nor on horse
back; even on foot it is hercu-
lean task to see the finest parts of
the Hawaiian Islands, its grand sum-
mits, its lovely valleys, its charming
waterfalls! What pity!
Please just publish an enquiry
show many of our Honolulu resi-
dents and how many Of our visitors
from abroad have been on the Tan
talus, or ON the Kalihi Pail, or up
the valleys and to the lovely water
falls of Manoa, Palolo, Makiki,
Pauoa, Nuuanu &c. 7" l know most
of them are scarcely accessible, ex-
cept on foot, but then how beautiful
they are and what grand delight
for every lover of nature!
Now Mr.. Editor, there are two
things to be done to make them Of
easy access. First of all: roads,
make roads, roads, roads, roads.
Send the Inspector of Roads and
Public improvements to Germany
Ct have no doubt that he would
like it), let him there study how to
open cou1try to tourists, let him
then return and confer q blessing
on Hawaii by opening up and i'm
proving roads to the most beautiful
sceneries in the world, on the Ha-
waiian Islands.
Commence with Oahu, which is
full of natural beauties, but closed
up and barred by bad or insufficient
roads. l would like TO see coffee
house or hotel on the Tantalus for
sight-seers and invallds: there are
few places better situated for such a
purpose.
Some of the roads can only be
made by uprooting and killing the
Lantana; very well then, make q
beginning and kill that plant, the
pest of the country. If the Gov
eminent can, and will not, move in
this matter, well start society for
the purpose of opening and improv-
ing roads to the pretty scenerics OF
Oahu and one OF the shareholders
will be, Yours ANTI-LANTANA.
